Know the Direction of Your Energy.
If you don’t identify as an empathic receiver or a broadcaster, it’s possible that you are a parasitic receiver. Popular culture uses the terms energy vampire or narcissist. Neither of these terms accurately describe the vibrational signature of this person. As the name energy vampire implies, this type of receiver feeds off of the energy of others. However, there are many levels of parasitic receivers and most of them are not aware of what they are doing and do not consciously seek out prey. The term narcissist indicates excessive and detrimental love for oneself, which is often lacking in this type of receiver.
Parasitic receivers are needy. They like to be with others not because they are extroverted or enjoy being the center of attention (although that can be true.) They simply can’t exist by themselves.
They are the people who call or show up with a crisis. In a whirlwind of drama they take over your time and energy. They need to be rescued again and again, leaving you drained. Parasitic receivers will not be there for you in your time of need, despite their constant assurance that they will be. They may show up physically, but emotionally there will be no connection. This is the friend that invites you to lunch when you’re going through a rough time, then they proceed to talk about themselves for the entire visit.
If you are the parasitic receiver, you probably won’t admit it. You may think you feel the energies of others as an empath, but you're really just judging the faults of others. Or, you may say that you’re a broadcaster, giving voice to victims and blowing the whistle on perceived injustice. All the while, you’re completely unaware that your need for attention drains the energy of those around you.
You may wonder why family and friends have not called or responded to your texts, even though you clearly explained why you need praise and encouragement, or why you are upset or angry or victimized. Do you often shut people out of your life until they issue an apology, sometimes going years without communication? Do you wonder why people suddenly turn on you? Maybe you found a person that is compassionate; they listen to you, they validate you. You want to spend all your time with them. You invite them in and give them attention. You feel good when you’re with them. You may even fall in love with them and plan to spend the rest of your life with them. You never notice, though, that you know nothing about them. In fact, you only notice that at some point they start to withdraw. They seem depressed, which is ridiculous because they haven’t been through nearly the ordeal that you have and therefore don’t have the right to be depressed. So you let them know just how irresponsible they are being, or how they have hurt you.
That’s a parasitic receiver. At worst, this person is a sociopath with no connection to any high vibrational energies. Love, for them, is tied up in the sickness of guilt and shame and blame. At best, this receiver is a follower, easily manipulated by strong broadcasters. They have no sense of self, no ability to tap into a higher source of energy. They feed off of the vibrational energy of compassionate empaths and charismatic broadcasters. Sometimes, two parasitic receivers feed off of each other in a completely dysfunctional tug of war.
If a parasitic receiver gets sick, they will depend on everyone else to make them well again. They will not do the work on their own. They will take the drugs and have the surgeries and say the prayers, but they won’t actively seek the power within themselves. They will not allow healing to take place in all four rooms, because at least one of those rooms is firmly locked.
If you suspect that you’ve been the parasitic receiver for most of your life, this is your wake-up call. No one owes you anything. You are not entitled to healing or grace or love. When you become aware that you are healing and grace and love, you will heal. If you’ve been waiting for God to swoop in and offer divine healing, you will continue in dis-ease. The source of all, the divine energy of healing that you call God, is already in you waiting for you to open up all of your rooms and flood them with this lightness. Once that happens, you can learn to broadcast this energy outwards and feed off the power of your wholeness.
Can a parasitic receiver, a so-called energy vampire, be transformed into a peaceful empath and loving broadcaster? All energies are capable of change. Just as water can freeze and become a dangerous, slippery road, so can it heat up and evaporate into the atmosphere to mingle with the life-giving air that we breathe.
Affirmation: As I look in the mirror today, I love and accept myself fully. I am responsible for what I broadcast and what I receive. I focus on broadcasting and receiving energies of love, joy and peace.
